A motorized boat makes its way on the Ashokan Reservoir in Olive, N.Y., Tuesday, April 5, 2022. As western regions contend with drier conditions, New York City is under fire for sometimes releasing hundreds of millions of gallons of water a day from the reservoir in the Catskill Mountains. The occasional releases, often around storms, have been used to manage water the reservoir's  levels and to keep the water clear. But residents downstream say the periodic surges cause ecological harm along the lower Esopus Creek. (AP Photo/Seth Wenig)
